What causes a transmission to slip?
Transmission slipping usually points to worn-out transmission fluid, a clogged filter, or internal wear on gears and bands. Over time, these components degrade—especially if fluid changes are skipped.
Is it safe to drive with a slipping transmission?
No. Continuing to drive with a slipping transmission can lead to complete transmission failure. It can also cause safety issues like delayed acceleration or sudden shifts, putting you and others at risk.
Can a slipping transmission be fixed without a full rebuild?
Sometimes. If caught early, a simple fluid flush, filter replacement, or software update might do the trick. But if left too long, a full rebuild or replacement may be the only option.
How much does it cost to fix a slipping transmission?
Minor fixes could range from $150–$400, while a full rebuild can exceed $2,500 depending on your vehicle. That’s why early diagnostics are critical—and we offer them at no cost!
